[01:30]
Nice: We haven’t! We’re having a meeting to discuss how to improve business.

Murasaki: Are you two doing handyman work?

Ratio: No, I was called here by Birthday too.

Birthday: That’s right! I came here because I have a wonderful suggestion for you all!

Murasaki: A suggestion? What is it?

Birthday: It’s spring, Murasaki. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom right now, so we should act like Japanese people by checking out the cherry blossoms at night while we party! In other words, we’re going to have a flower viewing party tomorrow night!

[02:01]
Everyone: A flower viewing party?

Hajime: A party?

Ratio: Hamatora Drama CD 1.

Birthday: The cherry blossoms we saw one day.

Murasaki: No way. Sounds like a bother.

Birthday: You’re turning down the idea already?!

Nice: Murasaki is always like that. I’m sure he wants to go with us, he’s just being stubborn!

Birthday: No way, he’s being tsundere?! That’s his usual self? But that’s just cliché!

[02:29]
Murasaki: Can I just punch you both? That’s alright, isn’t it?

Koneko: You took off your glasses! Aren’t you getting serious? The café will be destroyed if you use your Minimum!

Birthday: Huh? You’re more worried about the café than us?

Ratio: I’m against the idea too. At this time, all the flower viewing spots will be crowded. I don’t want to go somewhere like that.

Birthday: Unfortunately, you’ve got to take part! You’ve got no right to say no!

Koneko: Ah, you’re being really insistent.

Birthday: You agree, don’t you? Hajime-chan. This event only happens once a year, so there’ll be a feast. All you can eat!

[03:02]
Hajime: A feast… All you can eat… Anything!

Thanks for the food! Come on, let’s go!

Koneko: Hajime-chan got into it so quickly! We definitely can’t stop it now!

Nice: The flower viewing is tomorrow, Hajime-chan!

Murasaki: Using food to convince Hajime isn’t fair.

Ratio: Give up, Murasaki. I won’t be able to stop this now either.

Koneko: Let’s take this opportunity to go, Murasaki-san!

[03:31]
Murasaki: Fine, we’ll go.

Birthday: You’re in charge of the cooking, Murasaki. I’ll invite Art and some other friends, so prepare enough for at least ten people.

[00:32]
Ratio: Oh, Juliet! I’ll whisper into your lovely ears again and again. Because you are the only one I see! No matter what happens, I won’t leave you. I love you.

Birthday: Romeo.

Ratio: Juliet.

Birthday & Ratio: Fall in love.

[01:02]
Koneko: What are you doing this early in the morning?

Birthday: Ah, Koneko-chan! What’s up?

Koneko: I’ve got a job for you two, but you seem to be busy.

Birthday: I got bored of looking for a spot. We had some spare time, so I thought we’d make some money by acting.

Koneko: It didn’t go down well at all!

Birthday: It’s difficult for others to understand art.

Koneko: Jeez! I can’t believe you went along with this, Ratio!

[01:28]
Ratio: Don’t say anything. He’s always been like this. He’s gotten lost while taking me to an unfamiliar town for an adventure. When he took me into the mountains to watch the sunrise, we encountered a bear. He always ignores what I think.

Koneko: You were completely into acting though!

Ratio: Once I do something, I give it 100%!

Koneko: I don’t know whether to call you serious, or what…

Birthday: Anyway, what’s the job you’ve got for us?

Koneko: Ah, right! I want to you two to run a takoyaki stand.

Ratio: A takoyaki stand?

[02:01]
Koneko: The client is a man at a transport company in the city who is in his fifties. He opens a food stand around this time as a side job, but he hurt his back while preparing to open up shop.

Birthday: So we’re gonna run the stall for that old guy?

Koneko: The stall is right next to this park, on a street lined with cherry blossom trees. It’s a popular place with lots of stalls.

Birthday: What’ll we get paid?

Koneko: 30% of the profits and the leftover takoyaki. Depending on how well you do, you could make a fortune! How about it?

[02:33]
Ratio: It’s impossible. Do you think something made by beginners like us will sell that easily?

Koneko: Don’t be like that! The client said it would be enough for you just to come today. Please!

Birthday: Let’s go for the fortune!

Ratio: You’re actually into this?!

Birthday: It sounds interesting! We’ll make some money and get takoyaki!

Koneko: Hajime-chan will definitely be happy to eat takoyaki too!

[03:00]
Birthday: That’s right! I want everyone to enjoy the flower viewing. Isn’t it admirable of me to work behind the scenes?

Ratio: What’s your real reason?

Birthday: I’m tired of looking for a spot for the party.

Ratio: I guess that’s just how you are.

Koneko: Umm… If you’re going to take the job, then I’ll look for somewhere to have the party instead.

Birthday: Is that okay? Sorry to make you find a spot for the party and organise the entertainment too.

Koneko: I told you it’s impossible for me to do the entertainment!

Ratio: Alright, I’ll take the job too.

Birthday: I knew you would! You’re an understanding guy.

Ratio: I’d rather let you push me around then have you causing trouble by yourself.

[03:33]
Koneko: Well, I’ll be counting on you then! The stall has already been put up.

Birthday: Ah, it’s so lively!

Ratio: I can’t believe anyone would eat while walking around this dusty place. It’s enough to make me shiver.

Birthday: Calm down! We’ll clean up in a flash and get down to business!

[05:01]
Ratio: In a flash? Get down to business? Just how long do you think it’ll take to get all that grease off? I don’t even know what that stuff stuck on the iron plate is! And by the way, there’s only squid and konnyaku [1] in the cooler! What about the octopus? You can’t even call that mislabelling!

Birthday: Calm down! Squid is pretty tasty too!

Ratio: That’s not the problem!

[05:28]
Birthday: Anyway, it’s not like we can refuse the job we already accepted just because we feel like it!
You’re good at cleaning, right? I’m counting on you!

Ratio: We need that octopus.

Birthday: We’ll just call it a necessary expense.

Ratio: In that case…

Birthday: Why are you using your Minimum?

Ratio: There are bacteria hiding on the back of the steel plate too. I’m not going to let them escape! Bacteria are the cause of food poisoning, so I’m going to disinfect every last one.

Woman: Okay, here goes!
It’s the first time I’ve had this shocking feeling!

Birthday: I like to call this shocking takoyaki! A rare takoyaki you can only eat here!

[03:01]
Ratio: You put electricity in the takoyaki?!

Birthday: Just a little. It won’t cause any harm.

Man: That takoyaki stand over there is doing something strange! They said they’ve got some takoyaki you can only get there.

Man: Hmm? Sounds interesting. Let’s go over there!

Birthday: Here it is! A chance to make a fortune! Now the line should create an even bigger line! Okay, Octopus Man! Keep making that takoyaki!

Ratio: Who are you calling Octopus Man?!

Man: I’ll take some too!

Woman: Give me a bite!

[03:31]
Birthday: Having a stall isn’t so bad! How about we become wandering takoyaki salesmen?

Ratio: Don’t get carried away. How are you going deal with this line anyway? We can’t do it ourselves.

Birthday: You’re right. How about we get some help from Nice and the others?

Ratio: What about the flower viewing party? It was your idea.

Birthday: Why are you so mad? Are you hungry? Have some takoyaki.

Ratio: I don’t want it! Don’t make me eat the burned crap we made at the beginning!

Birthday: It’s okay! The shocking takoyaki will make you forget all about the taste!

[04:01]
Ratio: Doesn’t that just mean my tongue would be paralysed?!

Birthday: It’ll be interesting!

Huh? Ratio-chan?

Uh oh… He collapsed! Maybe that was too much of a shock?

Track 4

Ratio: Where am I…?

Birthday: Ah, Ratio! You’re awake. Nice and the others got lost, so Koneko went to find them at our meeting place.

Ratio: Birthday…

Birthday: Sorry! I just made a little mistake trying to control the electricity. I’m glad you’re still alive.

Ratio: You didn’t take that apology seriously enough. What about the stall?

[00:28]
Birthday: It fell down when you ate the takoyaki. Because of that we lost our customers, our reputation stinks and the stall is destroyed. It’s hard work running a shop. We had some tough luck.

Ratio: I’m the one who had the tough luck.

Birthday: How about I give you the leftover takoyaki as an apology?

Ratio: I don’t want it.

Birthday: Really? Guess I’ll have it then. It’s not bad or good. It’s less than average.

Ratio: Can I ask you something, Birthday?

Birthday: What is it?

[00:57]
Ratio: Why’d you suddenly get the idea to go flower viewing? Something refined like flower viewing doesn’t suit you. You’re more like the type who’d look at girls that were attending a flower viewing.

Birthday: That’s not right Ratio. I wouldn’t just look at girls, I’m the type who’d talk to them too. Get things straight.

Ratio: That’s not important now.

Birthday: It didn’t particularly mean anything. We just don’t know how often we might get to see cherry blossoms from now on. I wanted to see this with my friends. No one wants to have regrets when they die, right? I want to do everything I think of.

[01:38]
Ratio: Birthday…

Birthday: But it might be fun to go with regrets and appear in front of you as a ghost.

Ratio: That’s not a funny joke.

Birthday: Really? Imagining you terrified is enough to make me laugh though.

Ratio: There’s no way you’d die that easily. I’ll show you all the cherry blossoms, fireworks, autumn leaves and snow.

[02:01]
Birthday: You’ll show me them?

Ratio: I’m going to stay by your side for that reason.

Birthday: That sounds like a cheap pick-up line. Do you even realise that you said something embarrassing?

Ratio: You think it’s funny?

Birthday: No. Not at all.

Nice: Hey, Birthday! Ratio!

Murasaki: Nice! You help carry some stuff too!

Hajime: All-you-can-eat. A feast. All-you-can-eat. A feast.

[02:30]
Koneko: Ah! You’re drooling, Hajime-chan! And more than just a little!

Birthday: Ah, everyone else is here, so no more depressing talk! Let’s party until morning!

Ratio: You’re planning to drink all night?!

Birthday: You’re lucky! You were asleep until a moment ago, so it’ll be a piece of cake.

Ratio: I was unconscious. It was your fault too!

Birthday: Never mind that! Let’s go, Ratio! Be prepared for me to get rid of that frown on your face today! My life won’t be any fun if you’re always standing beside me with a face like that.

[03:00]
Ratio: You’re not even bothered that I get pushed around by you most of the time?

Birthday: That’s right!
Whoa, there’s lots of food! Can we finish this all? Didn’t you get carried away, Murasaki?

Murasaki: You told me to make a lot!

Hajime: It’s okay. Leave it to me.

Birthday: So I guess there’s no problem with Hajime here, huh. Honey and Three will be coming too.

Nice: Oh? Honey and Three are in Japan?

Birthday: Of course! I just bumped into them by chance. Honey has grown some more.

[03:31]
Koneko: That’s sexual harassment.

Ratio: Jeez, you haven’t changed at all.

Birthday: What are you doing, Ratio?

Ratio: Well, that’s alright. I’m probably the only person who can keep up with you until the end. I’ll always let you push me around from now on.

Hello, Saki! My name is Aiko and thank you so much for translate this Drama CD *O* I wanted to read it so much. I was wondering if I can use your translation to make one in my original language, Spanish. ¡I’ll be waiting your answer and thank you again!

Hi there Aiko! Sure, it’s okay for you to make a Spanish version. I look forward to reading your translation 😀 I just posted the translation of the second drama CD as well, hope you’ll enjoy that one too~
